General Information

You need to find insects to build a lure to fish.

Three skills are necessary:

  • Fly Fishing from the School of Body to build the fly fishing rod (a rod is given to you upon learning the skill
  • Arthropodology from the School of Worship to find insects while doing random activities in game
  • Fly Tying from the School of Worship to build the lure

Making a lure requires an insect, 2 Thread, and 1 Thorn. It is built by going to the Skills menu and clicking Fly Tying.

Results

If you are lucky, and are using an effective combination of lure, location, and time, you will catch a fish, which will immediately go into your inventory.

Failure messages include one of the following (the precise meaning of the various failure messages is still being worked out):

  • "No fish bit. Try different lures and locations."
  • "You didn't catch anything. Try different lures and locations."
  • "You almost caught an odd fish, but you were too late recognizing the bite."
  • "You almost caught an unusual fish, but you were not quick enough."

Additionally, there is a small chance of losing your lure with each failure.

Notes

Some experiences (from Detour):

I went out fishing with 2 Red cricket (Fresh) lures. Hopped to about 6 different locations and cast about 10 times before losing both lures with no fish caught. I was getting the messages, "No fish bit. Try different lures and locations," or, "No fish bit. You also lost your lure. Try different lures and locations."

Next I used a Woodmoth (Fresh) lure. I caught 3 fish before losing it. They were 7, 6, and 6 deben Malapterurus. I was standing at 777, -1428 at around 6:26 AM game time. I lost the lure on the same cast as catching a fish and didn't get a notice about it. It just disappeared from my inventory.
(Tanafri: On a successful fish catch, as I understand it, you will always lose the lure.) (Haraelendil: you don't always loose you lure on a succesfull catch)

Finally, I used a Wooly aphid (Fresh) lure. I got to cast it about 3 times from different locations before I lost it with no fish caught.


Kaayru: I was fishing at a small pond in Sterope (1626 -697) at 1:25pm. Got the message "You almost caught an unusual fish, but you were not quick enough." - Is speed a factor?

tehm: there is also a "You almost caught an odd fish, but were too late recognizing the bite" message. I tried Grilled Garlic (+foc)- no observable change. Next tried Grilled Carrots (+per) and was still getting the message. Maybe "recognizing" means "snaring" rather than "identifying" and Dex or Speed is needed to "recognize"?
(Tanafri: it's not the *fish* you're not recognizing, but the bite on the line.)


MynxFellswipe: It seems that fish size (in deben) decreases over time. I initially caught a 27db Ayu at 10pm, then gradually smaller (26, 25, 24...) as the hour passed. I had someone else fish next to me after some time. His fish sizes also started around the 26db mark and decreased steadily.

Saluk: I used Orchid Hopper to catch several 1db river crab in one spot (759 -5608) at around 6pm. Always 1db. Switched to Wooly Aphid and immediately caught a 5db river crab. Caught several more 5db with wooly aphid. The lure type definitely affects the size.

Tanafri: Fish has a bulk of 20, regardless of weight.
